South 24 Parganas, located in the southern part of West Bengal, lies in the Sundarbans region near Kolkata and shares a border with Bangladesh.
It is considered one of the strongest bastions of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the state.
2021 West Bengal Assembly Elections (31 seats):
TMC - 31
BJP - 0
2024 Lok Sabha Elections (5 seats):
TMC - 5
BJP - 0
Mamata Banerjee’s nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, is the Member of Parliament from this region and remains its most influential figure. His close aide, Jahangir Khan, also wields significant power here. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is frequently active in the area, and in the past, large quantities of bombs and explosive materials have been recovered from here.
The region is notorious for election rigging and “chapa voting” (booth capturing). TMC’s dominance has created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
Conducting free and fair elections in South 24 Parganas remains one of the Election Commission’s biggest challenges.
Enter India’s most fearless police officer- Singham, IPS Ajay Pal Sharma.
Ajay Pal Sharma is the officer who successfully dismantled powerful crime syndicates in Rampur and Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh. The Election Commission has now deputed him as a Special Observer in South 24 Parganas with the sole mandate of ensuring free and fair elections.
Ajay Pal Sharma vs Abhishek Banerjee & Jahangir Khan
The climax is yet to unfold, but his arrival has already sent shockwaves through the entire TMC ecosystem in the region.

Since the Ukraine war started there have been regular calls that the Russian economy is collapsing. 4+ years later, its now war economy hasn’t.
Yet Russians running businesses tell me the economy stinks; Ukrainian strikes on its energy are seeing huge damage; and the below rumour suggests Russia is hurting badly.
It points to large-scale financial repression of savings; tighter capital controls; and any Russian firm that isn’t part of the war economy being unable to access FX.
We won’t have long to wait until we find out if it’s true or not.

Those who think Russia and the BRICS can only ever win will of course try to Red Square all kinds of circles to explain this away if it happens, just as some western cheerleaders do for the U.S. and/or Europe.
Yet the rumour above —and a massive energy crisis looming— underline that *wars usually do real damage to economies*.
Ones that don’t, as the West has experienced them until recently, and Russia tried to at least in Moscow and St Petersburg, are very much the historical exception.
Years ago, when I was merely predicting major wars ahead rather than describing them, I mused how ADHD algo financial markets might cope with a new global conflict. “Not well,” I suspected.
Today, as two are happening and conflating, the collective view of many in markets who ‘don’t do geopolitics’, e.g., government bond experts who don’t have any knowledge of how war is intertwined with yields, seems to be that things ‘have to end soon or well’,… “because markets.”
For that reason we won’t end up with massive borrowing, at least localised high inflation, financial repression, tariffs, export controls, capital controls, price controls, nationalisation, and even limits on free movement, etc.
Ironically, that view is only going to prove right if U.S. military statecraft wins vs Iran in short order, which we already see (as I had flagged beforehand) then requires a base of economic statecraft to sustain it.
So the Panglossian view is wrong even if it’s right.

Exhibit B
🧵 🦠 Addressing Epstein-Barr Virus via Gut and DAO
The connection between chronic viral infections and the internal environment of the gut is a critical area of focus for those seeking to regain health. While mainstream medicine often dismisses the persistence of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) once the initial acute phase passes, many have found significant relief by shifting the focus toward the gut-immune axis.
When the gut is compromised—a state often exacerbated by modern diets, industrial agricultural products, and environmental stressors—the body’s ability to manage latent viral loads is severely taxed.

🧬 Understanding the DAO Connection
Diamine Oxidase (DAO) is the primary enzyme responsible for breaking down histamine in the small intestine. When your DAO levels are insufficient, you develop a state of histamine intolerance.
The Viral-Histamine Loop: Chronic, low-grade viral activity like EBV can trigger mast cell activation. This causes an increase in histamine release.
Systemic Overload: If your gut cannot process this excess histamine due to low DAO, it creates systemic inflammation. This inflammation acts as a persistent stressor, further suppressing the immune system and allowing the virus to remain active or thrive.
Targeting DAO: By supporting DAO activity (or supplementing with bio-available DAO before meals), you reduce the systemic inflammatory burden. This allows the immune system to stop "fighting fires" on the histamine front and focus its resources on suppressing the viral load.

🥗 Gut Biome Optimization
Treating the gut biome is not merely about taking probiotics; it requires a systematic approach to repairing the environment where the microbiome resides.
Eliminate Triggers: The most immediate step is removing industrial food additives, processed sugars, and pesticide-laden produce that disrupt the mucosal lining of the gut.
Repair the Barrier: A leaky gut permits endotoxins (like LPS from gram-negative bacteria) to enter the bloodstream, which is a known trigger for both immune dysregulation and potential viral reactivation. Using targeted nutrients to repair the intestinal mucosa is essential.
Rebalance, Don't Just Supplement: Relying on generic probiotics often yields limited results. Identifying specific dysbiosis—often characterized by an overgrowth of opportunistic pathogens—is key. A focus on prebiotic fibersthat favor commensal bacteria while avoiding those that feed pathogens is a more sophisticated approach than broad-spectrum supplementation.

Here is what the study found.🧵
In 2023, the most recent year studied, immigrants made up 14.7 percent of the United States population. They earned 17.4 percent of the income. They paid 17.3 percent of the taxes.
That means immigrants pay taxes at a higher rate than their share of the population. They earn more in income per capita than the average American. They generate more government revenue per person than the average native-born citizen.

After 50: Calcium won’t fix weak bones or stubborn belly fat.
These 9 habits will fix both👇
1) Increase protein intake
These 9 habits will fix both👇
1) Increase protein intake
Adequate protein is foundational for both bone and muscle physiology. Bone is not just calcium—it is ~30–40% protein (mainly collagen).
Protein stimulates IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) → promotes osteoblast activity (bone formation).
Prevents sarcopenia, which reduces fall risk and improves joint stability.
Target: ~1.0–1.2 g/kg/day (higher end if active or insulin resistant).
Low protein → weaker bone matrix even if calcium intake is adequate.

Prevents sarcopenia, which reduces fall risk and improves joint stability.
Target: ~1.0–1.2 g/kg/day (higher end if active or insulin resistant).
Low protein → weaker bone matrix even if calcium intake is adequate.
2) Reduce excess rice & wheat (refined carbs) This is less about carbs per se and more about glycemic load and metabolic dysfunction.
Chronic high insulin → reduces osteoblast function and increases fat deposition.
Promotes advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) → stiffens collagen in bone and joints.
Improves triglycerides, HbA1c, visceral fat → indirectly improves bone turnover.
Replace with: vegetables, pulses (if tolerated), nuts, and controlled whole grains.

Breaking: The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against anti-ICE protesters, issuing another block against a judge's order prohibiting federal officers from deploying crowd control munitions on protesters at the Portland ICE facility.
The three-panel decision, issued by judges Kenneth Lee, Eric Tung, "and Ana de Alba (dissent), reads as follows:
"The First Amendment does not protect vandalism, criminal trespass, or obstruction of law enforcement. Such unlawful acts, however, have been commonplace around the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) building in Portland over the past year."
Numerous provocateurs—many wielding bats, shields, and strobe lights that disrupt vision—have hurled bricks, smashed security cameras, and blocked the driveway to prevent ICE cars from entering or exiting the building. In response, the government has used tear gas, pepper balls, and other non-lethal munitions to disperse the crowd."
"Five plaintiffs sued the government, alleging that they are peaceful protesters who have been injured as a result of the crowd-control tactics. But they do not contend that they are collateral casualties caught in the crossfire—they claim that the government specifically targeted them in retaliation for exercising their First Amendment rights."
"The plaintiffs have not shown that the agents had the subjective intent to retaliate or that the government has an unwritten policy targeting them. Much of the evidence shows the government trying to clear the entrance to the ICE facility in the face of unrest and an unruly crowd. And while some individual incidents might indicate an arguably disproportionate use of force, they alone do not amount to an unwritten policy of retaliation."

This is another stay pending appeal granted to the Trump DOJ as the plaintiffs prepare to enter what they say is more evidence against ICE to back their claims.

Lee Zeldin SCORCHES Democrat Rosa DeLauro when she loses it over the EPA's budget proposal, claiming it "reads like a climate change denier's manifesto" and screeches that climate change is "flooding our streets" and "poisoning our air":
Zeldin: "Following the law...Where does it say anything about fighting global climate change? Loper Bright, Supreme Court case. You familiar with it?"
DeLauro: "N-, no, maybe others are. I'm not."
Zeldin: "But that's really important. As a member of Congress, Loper Bright says that we, as an agency, don't have the authority to get creative if Section 202 of the Clean Air Act-"
DeLauro: "No, no...YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY CLIMATE CHANGE DOES NOT EXIST; THAT IT'S A HOAX! And that is where this administration is coming from!"
Zeldin: "I understand you're upset that you don't know what Loper Bright is. Do you know what the Major Policies Doctrine is?"
DeLauro: "I'm upset because...Lemme just say this to you!"
Zeldin: "You're a member of Congress; you should know...You're very defensive about not knowing the two biggest landmark Supreme Court cases of the last year with regards to your question..."
DeLauro: "You're here because you need money from us! SO HALT FOR THE SECOND AND WAIT FOR THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!"
Zeldin: "Well, I answered your question and you didn't like my answer because you don't know what Loper Bright is, because you don't know the Major Policies Doctrine is. You're asking me about Section 202 of the Clean Air Act, and you don't read it. You don't know what it says...I actually read the law. I do my homework. You're just somebody who likes to have the microphone on. You know what I have to do? I read the law; I read the Supreme Court cases...You care about science; now you're threatening to defund it?"
Brilliant job, EPA Administrator! 👏

The proposed budget would slash the EPA's budget by more than half (~52%), to $4.2 billion in fiscal year 2027.
whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
“The Budget continues the full elimination of EPA’s radical diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and instead restores civil rights protections for all Americans. This elimination puts an end to taxpayer funded programs that promote divisive racial discrimination and so-called “environmental justice” grants to organizations that advance discriminatory and radical ideological projects. By eliminating this program, the Budget finally puts an end to wasteful spending on grants including: Environmental justice into vacant lot management; Latinx workshops on environmental justice; tiny homes for immigrants; educating refugee communities on fish consumption; collecting, repackaging, and distributing reused food; installing garden beds in parkways; and developing school curriculum on woke topics like “climate change” and the alleged injustices it creates.”
“The Budget puts an end to unrestrained research grants, woke environmental justice work, radical climate research, and skewed, overly-precautionary modeling that influences regulations—none of which are authorized by law...Previously this program funded unrestrained and wasteful research grants to: Address “Hispanic environmental justice”; create a climate change equity tracker; and create an “energy-justice model” for freight vehicle electrification.”
It would also eliminate LGBTQIA+ workshop events, Black and Hispanic Engineer conventions, and “culturally appropriate” fish-consumption communication.
...Among many other things.
